The bike that is forcing riders to rethink what a carbon road bike should cost.
The X-LAB RS7 Di2 delivers a full carbon frame and fork, Shimano 105 Di2 electronic shifting, carbon aero wheels, an integrated carbon cockpit, built-in power meter, and Apple Find My tracking technology—all in a package that costs less than many bikes equipped with mechanical drivetrains alone.

Whether you're joining your first group ride, training for a century, racing local road events, or simply looking for a fast and efficient road bike, the RS7 offers premium performance without the premium price tag.
At just 8.49kg (18.67 lbs), the RS7 delivers responsive acceleration, confident handling, and all-day ride quality while maintaining the durability and serviceability riders expect from a modern performance road bike.
